Lao Fang felt very unsure about facing his daughter, "I'll just ask."
"Since there's nothing wrong, I'll hang up."
Lao Fang wanted to say something, but the other party didn't give him a chance.
Looking at the phone that ended the call, Lao Fang sighed.
Unlike him, Fang Lan didn't even have time to sigh. After finishing the meal, she had to rush to the company to handle things.
At noon on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Father Lin was walking home from his work in the fields. On the way, he heard the loudspeaker in the village sounding.
It was the voice of the village chief, 'At 3:30 this afternoon, an all-villagers meeting will be held in the open space at the door of the activity room. Each household will send at least one person to attend. They will bring their own small benches, and the village committee will provide snacks and drinks.'<
/p>
He said several times in a row, 'Three-thirty, three-thirty, remember the time and don't come late. If you come late, you won't be able to eat anything if you sit in the back.'
Shang Shaojin walked next to Lin's father, "Boss Lin, your village radio is quite interesting."
"Without this last sentence, we wouldn't be able to gather together after the conference." Father Lin was carrying a bag of vegetables, which he asked Boss Shang to take back later.
"If I were from your village, I would really want to visit."
That's what he said, but whenever he was free, he always squeezed out time to help in the greenhouse.
It was said that there was a meeting at 3:30. Sister-in-law Feng arrived at Lin Qian's house at 3 o'clock to meet Lin's mother. "Let's go, let's go early and get a good seat."
"Why are you so anxious so early?" Lin's mother was not interested in that conference. She just wanted to let Lin Jianguo go alone. Anyway, their family was rarely involved in the village's projects, so there was no need to join in the fun.
"Of course it's urgent. Don't you know?" Sister-in-law Feng leaned closer and whispered, "This meeting is to distribute last year's dividends."
Mother Lin continued her work, "It doesn't matter if there are dividends to my family. My family doesn't participate in the Agricultural Products Federation, and no one goes to work at scenic spots. Can I still give my family some money?"
"Why are there no distinctions? As long as the household registration is in the village, everyone will get points."
"Where did you hear this?"
"I heard what your Aqian said. Hey, why didn't she tell you?"
"What did Ah Qian say?" Mother Lin stood up from the bench and looked around the room, but she didn't see this person.
Sister-in-law Feng understood what she meant, "Aqian is over there in the open space. She has been there long ago and has eaten several bags of melon seeds."
"Hey, this kid." Mother Lin walked through the back door and called to Father Lin, who was sharpening the sickle by the water tank, "Stop grinding it, put it away and let's go to the square. Aqian has already gone."
"Don't forget to call me Xiaoxiao."
Lin’s mother: “Do you still need to scream? I must have gone with his sister.”
Sure enough, when I walked near the open space, I saw the two siblings sitting on a bench eating melon seeds from a distance. There were melon seed shells on the ground beside their feet.
I’m really not afraid of getting angry.
It was less than 3:30, and many people were already sitting in the open space. Mother Lin walked through the crowd and walked to them, "What are you doing sitting here?"
Lin Xiao bit the melon seed shell and turned around, "Second uncle, aunt, sit down, we are here to take a seat, you can just sit in front of us."
Mother Lin and Sister-in-law Feng both came with small benches, not only for themselves, but also for Lin Qian and the others.
"Whose bench are you sitting on?" Mother Lin asked.
"It belongs to the village chief." Lin Qian used her feet to pull the melon seed shells in front of her to the side, "Sit down."
Mother Lin and Sister-in-law Feng sat down in front of them, "How do you know you have money to pay today?" Mother Lin turned around and asked Lin Qian.
"The village chief said it."
When she opened her mouth, it was the village chief. Mother Lin asked her, "When did you have a good relationship with the village chief?"
"Hey, who do I have a bad relationship with?"
Sister-in-law Feng laughed when she heard this, "Yes, Ah Qian has a cheerful personality and can get along well with anyone."
Mother Lin was surprised when she heard this, "She has a cheerful personality?" This is strange, this is the first time I heard about it.
"Why aren't you cheerful?" Sister-in-law Feng bumped into Mother Lin, "Did you know that your Aqian helped Qingqing find a job again? If she wasn't a cheerful person, where did she get all these connections?"
Mother Lin didn't say anything, but she was thinking in her heart: Maybe she was tricked.
But the point now is not this, "Why did your Qingqing change jobs?"
Hearing that Lin's mother knew nothing, Sister-in-law Feng once again felt that Lin Qian was a reliable person. She didn't even tell her own mother about Qingqing. This child is really good.
"My original job didn't go well." Sister-in-law Feng pretended to be relaxed, "Young people just need more experience. It's easier to find a job while you're young, so you should choose carefully."
Sister-in-law Feng grabbed Ma Lin's hand, "Hey, speaking of it, Ah Qian introduced me to Qingqing's two jobs. I really want to thank her."
Mother Lin: "We, as adults, don't get involved in the dealings between their children. They have their own reasons for saying thank you or not."
I wanted to divert Mother Lin’s attention, but unfortunately, Mother Lin has a very good memory.
"I remember Qingqing's partner is in the same company as her, right?" Lin's mother lowered her voice, "Qingqing has left, will the man also leave?"
As soon as Mother Lin saw Sister-in-law Feng's expression, she knew what was going on, but even after asking, Mother Lin couldn't take it back.
"It's broken up." Sister-in-law Feng said, "Young people, it's normal to find that it's inappropriate while we're talking."
"Sister-in-law, are there enough melon seeds?" Lin Qian's nephew came over carrying a large bag of melon seeds.
Lin Qian was not polite and dug two handfuls into her bag, "Give some to my mother and aunt."
"Hey! Both of you grab some." The nephew held up the bag and brought it to them.
My nephew's eager attitude really dumbfounded both Mother Lin and Sister-in-law Feng.
When the person walked away, Sister-in-law Feng followed her with her eyes, "What's going on with this person? Why did he call him Auntie Aqian?"
Mother Lin thought about it, "Based on seniority, he has to be called Auntie Aqian."
"There's a big age difference. When did he call me that?" Sister-in-law Feng pointed out, "Besides, her name is Aunt Aqian, and she didn't call you grandma."
"Hey, let him scream as much as he wants. These are relatives who are so far apart." Mother Lin saw Father Lin coming with a stool, stood up and waved to him.
By this time, everyone in the village had almost arrived, and it was difficult for Father Lin to squeeze in.
Before, he would definitely find a seat to sit down randomly, but now it is different, he feels that asking others to give way is not a big deal.
"Hey, when did you two kids arrive? And you found such a good seat." Father Lin saw the empty bench in front of Mother Lin, "Hey, if I had known you had one here, I wouldn't have taken it."<
/p>
"Sit down quickly." Mother Lin saw the village chief walking up with the manuscript, "It seems like it's about to start."
"Yes, everyone is almost here."
Mother Lin squinted and stared at the table in the front row, "Hey, why didn't I see the money?"
Sister-in-law Feng complained, "Hey! It's impossible to put money on the table."
